Personally, I believe that the Republicans, in the last election, didn’t want the White House or Congress because they saw what was coming down the line in regards to the economy. They let the Democrats have the White House and they will blame them for what we are going through. As for Pelosi, I think that they let Pelosi be the fall person and gave her the Speaker of the House position. Nobody else wanted it. As for Reid, he was a power house in the Democratic party, but now they will go down with him.
Here’s to hoping you are right.
